Yep, 2 hrs of that will be in Yellowstone dodging the Oriental Tourists.

You make it sound like I'm Brad.

380 miles is a nice day ride. Could even schedule it so I hit Lolo at noon and pretest Jack's.

I figured you, Dave and Landman might do a little drive-by on the place. I sure would...

Did that last summer on the way to Cody and Red Lodge. Never again. Got to be a better route.

Gene...remind me to never travel cross-country with you. You cover some serious pavement!

I thought your Victory could do it easily.

Well, I am taking it easy on the way up to Idaho. I won't do any serious riding until the trip home.

The bike could do it easily....but thousand mile days and my name will never be spoken in the same sentence....

. I could easily make a weeks trip out of Gene's route....

Hey Joel, sounds like a great ride. Ruth and I will be at the rally, and I would like to do Beartooth again also. However if I am coming from Cody I would take Chief Joseph Highway up to Beartooth rather than going all the way to Red Lodge. Up from Redlodge is pretty much just switchbacks (although you can feed the chipmunks at a nice parking area half-way up) while Chief Joseph has tremendous views and sweepers, with good parking at overlooks. In case you are not familiar with it, it is north of Cody (toward Red Lodge) on 120 for 17 miles then left on 296 (Chief Joseph). At the top turn right to go to the Top of the World store (10 miles?) a great ride and better prices on t-shirts than in Red Lodge. Maybe we will see you in Cody!

My work with FEMA is going to end just in time for me to get home and take care of a few things and then hit the road. I will hit the road on 6/29. My first night will be in Simla, CO then on to Pikes Peak with a night two in Saguache, CO then on to Grand Junction via the Grand Mesa for night 3. Night 4 I will be in Mesa Vered will I will spend a week doing day trips and maybe one overnight trip. On 7/10 I will start working my way west and then north meeting up with Cliff on 7/19. Between 7/10 and 7/19 I will vist Logan, UT (went to school there) and spend two or three days in Boise where I will do some day trips. I feel the need to ride.
